By far the worst race of my life yesterday, Llangollen fell race, it was postponed from April when I’d been training for a marathon so would have been in better shape but that wasn’t the problem.
On the drive over I ate breakfast and drank a couple of coffees to get things moving before the race started. As it was a time trial there was no milling about at the start where the food usually digests and it’s uphill for the first part. Within the first few miles I was feeling really nauseous and had to continually stick my fingers down my throat to get the food and coffee up so I could get into some kind of comfortable flow without everything sloshing around. This left me really crampy at the end but I somehow managed to finish the remaining 15 miles or so from puking but didn’t enjoy a single mile.
